Harnessing Nature’s Intelligence for Deep Cellular Cleansing
In today’s world, our bodies are continually exposed to environmental toxins from the air we breathe and the food we eat, to the stress we carry. The Homeobotanical range offers a uniquely synergistic way to support the body’s natural detoxification pathways through blends that combine organic herbs and homeopathic potentisation.
Several herbs within the range act as natural binders, purifiers, and drainage supporters, helping the body eliminate accumulated wastes and restore vibrant energy. Let’s explore the detox heroes in depth.
🧲 1. Chlorella – The Green Detox Dynamo
A single-celled freshwater algae, Chlorella is one of the richest natural sources of chlorophyll on Earth. It binds to heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, and lead, escorting them safely out of the body. In addition, it supports liver function, gut microbiome balance, and cellular regeneration. Within the Homeobotanical range, it features in Supergreens and Cognito, forming part of a potent cellular-cleansing duo alongside Spirulina and Coriander.
💚 2. Spirulina – The Protein-Packed Purifier
A close cousin of Chlorella, Spirulina provides a deep nutritional and detox foundation. Rich in amino acids, antioxidants, and minerals, it enhances oxygenation and neutralises free radicals produced during toxin breakdown.Its gentle chelating ability complements Chlorella beautifully, supporting sustained vitality during a cleanse. Found in Supergreens, Cognito and Vitmin, Spirulina contributes to both detoxification and nourishment.
🌿 3. Coriander (Cilantro) – The Gentle Metal Mobiliser
Coriander has earned its reputation as a subtle yet effective heavy metal chelator. It helps mobilise mercury, aluminium, and other metals from tissues so they can be bound and removed by companion herbs such as Chlorella or Dulse. In Supergreens, it works synergistically with seaweeds and algae to enhance systemic purification.
🌊 4. Dulse & Bladderwrack – Sea Minerals for Cellular Balance
Both Dulse and Bladderwrack are mineral-rich seaweeds known for their affinity with the thyroid and lymphatic systems. Their natural alginates have a mild binding effect on toxins, especially heavy metals and radioactive isotopes. In formulas like Supergreens, Detoxa, Dynama, and Marina, they supply essential iodine while gently supporting metabolic detox and endocrine balance.
🌸 5. Sarsaparilla – The Blood & Lymph Cleanser
A traditional remedy from South America, Sarsaparilla root aids the body in eliminating metabolic wastes through the skin and kidneys. It helps purify the blood and lymph, promoting clearer skin and a sense of internal lightness. Within the Homeobotanical range, Sarsaparilla is found in Detoxa, Hb J, and Hb S, linking detoxification with immune and skin health.
🌻 6. Burdock Root – Nature’s Internal Filter
Burdock has long been cherished as a “blood purifier.” Its bitter compounds stimulate bile flow and liver detoxification, while its inulin content supports beneficial gut flora. This herb appears in Hb B, Hb S, Skin Revive, and Organo Blend, making it one of the core detox foundations across multiple formulas.
🌿 7. Milk Thistle – The Liver’s Best Friend
When it comes to protecting and regenerating liver tissue, few herbs rival Milk Thistle. Its active compound, silymarin, acts as an antioxidant shield against toxins and medications that burden the liver. In Hepato and Organo Blend, Milk Thistle anchors the range’s liver-support strategy, enhancing the efficiency of every detox process downstream.
🌼 8. Dandelion – The Classic Drainage Remedy
From root to leaf, Dandelion encourages healthy bile flow, kidney filtration, and lymphatic drainage. It’s featured widely in Hb G, Hb K, Hb L, Hepato, and more, proving its versatility as a tonic for the body’s natural cleansing systems. Search data places Dandelion among the UK’s top-searched detox herbs, and for good reason: it’s gentle, effective, and time-honoured.
🍃 9. Licorice Root – The Harmoniser
While not a direct binder, Licorice provides crucial support during detox. It soothes irritated mucous membranes in the gut and lungs, buffers acidity, and supports adrenal recovery after toxin exposure. Its inclusion in Detoxa, Hb G, and Supergreens ensures balance and resilience throughout cleansing protocols.
🌾 10. Nettle – The Mineral-Rich Cleanser
Nettle strengthens while cleansing.A natural diuretic, it encourages waste elimination through the kidneys and replenishes minerals lost during detoxification. Appearing in blends such as Immunoboost, Supergreens, and Lacta, Nettle bridges the gap between detox and remineralisation.
The Synergy: Drainage, Binding & Rebuilding
What makes the Homeobotanical range unique is its tri-phase action:
Drainage – Herbs like Dandelion, Burdock, and Sarsaparilla open the elimination pathways.
Binding – Agents like Chlorella, Spirulina, Dulse, and Coriander help sequester toxins.
Rebuilding – Tonics like Milk Thistle, Licorice, and Nettle nourish and repair tissues post-detox.
This holistic approach means that detoxification doesn’t deplete it restores.
In Summary

Frequently asked questions:
Why Should You Be Concerned About Heavy Metals in Your Body?
Even in tiny amounts, heavy metals can be harmful. Once in your body, they accumulate over time and can even be passed from generation to generation. Your body cannot easily detox heavy metals on its own, leading to health issues that are becoming more common in both children and adults.
Modern soil depletion and food contamination increase our exposure. When essential minerals are missing, the body substitutes toxic metals, disrupting vital functions. Heavy metals weaken tissues, cause inflammation, and interfere with energy production—leading to chronic fatigue, brain fog, and widespread health issues.
Heavy metals contribute to:
Neurological disorders (ASD, dementia, Alzheimer’s, brain fog etc)
Immune dysfunction (cancer, chronic infections, autoimmune conditions, candida etc)
Thyroid and adrenal issues
Nervous system disorders
Musculoskeletal - joint, bone, and muscle pain
Where do heavy metals in our body come from?
Direct exposure: From dental fillings, cosmetics, foods, copper IUDs, pesticides, home environment, personal care products like deodorants
Air pollution: Aircraft exhaust, coal plants, smoking, vehicle emissions
Prescription and over the counter medications & vaccines: Some contain aluminium or mercury
Once in the body, metals settle in the brain, liver, and bones, making them hard to detect. Awareness and proactive detoxification are key to reducing exposure and protecting your health.
